@Ariakey's post on Artfol

๐Ÿ˜ญ I needed to go print some photos for class and tried this little print shop for photography cause they are professionals, but the dude in there was kinda rude...

Me and my mom entered the shop, asked for a specific type of print (that they have on the website) and we were then chatting and this photographer went all: "you've got the mask on so it's already hard to hear you speak up louder"

Us: -stare at eachoter-
We went silent to not bother him

Then he judged my files, so I explained its a school project and he said nothing.

Saw they were png and complained they were heavy then did a long pause so I asked if I had to go back home and make them into jpeg but he quickly went "no ill turn them into jpeg"

Like... then what's the problem. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Right after he asked me if I wanted them opaque or reflective surface
He said opaque in a disgusted tone as if it was sh*t

But i had to get them opaque because my teacher wants them opaque

And he went "oh."


๐Ÿ˜… I Won't even go on with the details but it felt really awkward and weird .... and gosh it was a salty pay as well for such treatment... not recommended

Oh that sounds like a superiority complex getting out. There's always one rude ass person on printing shops, it's the norm ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Were I usually go they're all super nice except for one (1) dude who I try to avoid as much as possible. He also told me once: these are jpegs. And I was like: yeah?? Him: next time bring PDFs ๐Ÿ™„ (proceeds to convert them in 2 seconds). Then I had to explain to him what the term for gloshy paper was ๐Ÿ”ฅ
